Neither too wise nor too extravagant, the short square seduces the crowds. Cut just below the ears, this type of cut has many benefits and, if it is not recommended for certain forms of face, as Stéphane Weyl, Fabio Salsa training manager explains, it also highlights many traits. And that's why we love it.

The short square, the asset of the oval face

The short square is ideal when you have the maxillary or cheekbones a little prominent, the face in the shape of a triangle points to the top, rectangle or hexagonal, says Stéphane Weyl. Oval faces love it too.
"It is also perfect for camouflaging ears a little too big or loose, " adds the hairdresser, "or if you have a small neck, because the short square frees the profile and highlights."

Square short with bangs: watch out for round faces!

On the other hand, women who have a broad face, square or round face , should rather avoid it: "a short form of square cut will" pack "them more.For this type of face, it is better to focus on the volumes on the above the head ".
Be careful, if you really want a short square and have a round or square face , you can still go to the cut, but we avoid the fringe that encloses even more features and further reduces the frame of the face.

The short square does not suit either the long, slender necks of the dancers or the muscular swimmer's shoulders. As Stéphane Weyl explains, "the short square exposes the bare parts, which creates an imbalance in the silhouette". These profiles will prefer the long or medium squares , which dress the profile and the shoulders. In contrast, short squares are suitable for both small and large women at any age.

What maintenance for a short square?

On the maintenance side, if the short square is very graphic with solid lines, or very little degraded, Stéphane Weyl advises a touch-up every 6 weeks. More if the neck is short too. "If the lines are more indefinite, a visit every 8 weeks to review the cup may be enough."

If we want to "twister" his short square, we can consider all variants: fringe, wick, wavy ... Stéphane Weyl still recommend "full lines, necks a little degraded for more femininity and optimize the volume in neck."

For curly hair , just choose your hairdresser, who must anticipate the retraction of the hair and its spring not to cut too much. "A reference wick is essential, and even more than for other types of hair, the finishes are mandatory on dry hair so that the taper does not turn into frizz," he says. Besides, more than tilting, Stéphane Weyl recommends working on pickling curly hair to "prevent the hair from foam".
